<p>^Yes! I probably read it about the same age. Actually it was probably one of the last books my mum read to me :)</p>
<p>I think historical fiction is what I have trouble appreciating. Maybe I haven’t read enough of it (probably).</p>
<p>Now, any story with charismatic but ruthless criminals in the main cast is almost surely my kind of story. Quick and dirty character development. :D</p>
<p>On the subject of fantasy, has anyone read The Name of the Wind and sequel?</p>
